Sam’s Bar Mitzvah | Pittsburgh | Rhaina Taylor Photography

Sam’s Bar Mitzvah | Adat Shalom | Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh

I have ton’s of experience shooting Mitzvahs for families who are members of Adat Shalom. However, this was the very 1st time I have shot an actual service there. And the service is my favorite part! The parents are always beaming with pride. And if we’re lucky mom or dad will shed a tear! I’m a crier myself you see.

So for Sam’s Bar Mitzvah we started with a few pre-service portraits. And Sam even managed to squeeze in a little practice while I snapped shots around him. On Saturday morning Sam was able to focus all of his attention to the task in front of him. He did amazing! Later that evening it was on to the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh for the party. The guys from Soundtastic Enterprises put on quite a show. What a fun event! Sam’s mom told me that they really wanted this to be a laid back and casual event. She wanted me to shoot lots and lots of candids. The goal was for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. And this party definitely delivered.

Thank you to the Hirsch family for alloying me to be apart of this special day!
